Innavik

The off-grid Inuit community of Inukjuak has developed the Innavik Hydro Project, which will be located at the Inukjuak River, on Category 1 lands, in the region of Nunavik, northern Quebec. The project will be 7.5 MW in size and will replace all diesel fuel for electricity generation and space/water heating in the community over the next 40+ years.

Community members have voted in favour of the project by an 83% majority in 2010.

The Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility Studies have been completed, and the project is now being advanced through a partnership between the Pituvik Landholding Corporation of Inukjuak, and Innergex Renewable Energy.
